Top 3 Guns A Prepper Needs For Survival

All of us want to have a huge arsenal and thousands upon thousands of rounds of ammo, but this isn’t an option for most of us. A lot of us have to live with one particular budget and a weapon purchase is often a major purchase within that budget. However, if you can only by a few different firearms why not buy the highest quality you can afford? It’s much better to have three high-quality firearms than a dozen broken cheap ones.

Modern Defensive Rifle

If there was only one weapon you can buy, and I mean only one, it should be a high quality modern defensive rifle. A modern defensive rifle is the most versatile weapon a prepper can have.

Modern handgun

By modern, I do mean an automatic, a revolver can be used, but it should be modern. A Single action army revolver is not very handy in a fight. A modern handgun should be in a modern, and easy to find caliber. A handgun is necessary for situations where carrying a rifle will draw too much attention.

Shotgun

A shotgun is a very versatile weapon, capable of doing a whole lot of different tasks. A good pump or semi-automatic shotgun is a cannon at close range and is perfect for hitting moving targets. A shotgun is a close range weapon, that is easy to take moving targets.
